View allI've been struggling with this sore throat for about a month now, and it's really starting to worry me. I've been on clavam 625 and signoflam for three days, but honestly, I don't see much of a difference. Im also doing steam inhalations and gargling, but those only help for a little while. What do you think I should do next?
Ringing in the ear after earwax removal can be unsettling! *Possible Causes* 1. *Temporary irritation*: Earwax removal can cause temporary irritation, leading to ringing. 2. *Middle ear muscle spasm*: The procedure might have triggered a muscle spasm in the middle ear. 3. *Eustachian tube dysfunction*: The Eustachian tube connects the middle ear to the back of the throat. Dysfunction can cause ringing. *Remedies* 1. *Wait and observe*: As it's been only 1.5 months, the ringing might resolve on its own. 2. *Ear drops*: Use ear drops like hydrogen peroxide or earwax dissolvers to help soothe the ear. 3. *Relaxation techniques*: Stress can exacerbate tinnitus. Try relaxation techniques like meditation, deep breathing, or yoga. *Medical Consultation* 1. *Follow-up with your ENT*: Schedule a follow-up appointment to reassess the situation. 2. *Tinnitus evaluation*: If the ringing persists, ask your ENT about tinnitus evaluation and management options. *Lifestyle Changes* 1. *Avoid loud noises*: Protect your hearing by avoiding loud environments. 2. *Manage stress*: Engage in stress-reducing activities to help cope with tinnitus.

I'm a 34-year-old female and recently noticed a white oval lump behind my tonsil on the left side of my mouth. I only spotted it last month while dealing with some wisdom teeth issues. It doesn't hurt or cause any symptoms, but I'm really anxious about it because I have health anxiety. I drink moderately, just a few glasses of wine on the weekends, and I don't smoke. I'm fit and healthy otherwise. Can you help me understand what this might be?
It sounds like you may have a tonsil stone, also known as a tonsillolith. Tonsil stones are small, white or yellowish lumps that can form in the crevices of your tonsils. They are usually harmless and can sometimes occur after an episode of tonsillitis or when debris gets trapped in the tonsil crypts. To help reduce the size of the tonsil stone and prevent them from forming, you can try gargling with warm salt water regularly. In some cases, if the tonsil stones are large or causing discomfort, they may need to be removed by a healthcare professional. In the meantime, you can try using a water flosser to gently dislodge the tonsil stone. If you continue to have concerns or if the lump behind your tonsil changes in size or causes any symptoms, it's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I've been dealing with sinus problems that cause heaviness around my nose and forehead. My doctor recommended surgery but I'm unsure - is nasal surgery really necessary for treating sinus issues? What other options might help relieve this pressure?
Try nasal irrigation, antihistamines, steam, or balloon sinuplasty before surgery if sinus pressure is mild.
